The shafts struok the horse sharply tbe bind leg, causing him to ma away.

KNEW TOO MUCH That Why Conductor Hirsch berg Was Discharged Decapitated Employe Who Says that the Train Dfopatehor Holds Superintendent Martin by the Nose.

William Hirschberg, who has been conductor on the Bridge Railroad for three years, was discharged yesterday afternoon. He had secure his place through Cougrossraan Timothy J. Campbell and State Senator Michael C. Murphy, and thought hU tenure permanent especially as ho wa3 well recommended from the West Shore Railroad. His story of the discharge and what he believes to the real cause Is told as follows: "At 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon, when I was all dressed to go on my night run, Mr.

Hoagland told me I was suspended and advised me to go to Mr. Martin. I did so aud Mr. told me I was discharged. I asked him what for aud he said: 'You know too much aud have too much to There was nothing for me to do but leave.

They took advantage of the absence of my friends. The trouble bas been brewing a long time and I blame Train Dispatcher Prince and his friends for it all. The first outbreak occurrod In the conductors' room ou the bridge on May 19. I had been told by Barrett, follow conductor, now In tho hospital from Injuries, that Conductor Kearney had been suspendod for drunkenness and that the information about him had been furnished by Prince, West and Dav enport, who had been off with him at night I accused them of this and said they should have kept quiet whon Kearney's money was spent on them all. This angered them and they made rush for me and there was a lively time for awhile.

Davenport threatened to kill me, but was slopped in time. Mr. Hoagland looked at us like a big shoep and said notliiug until It was all over. The matter was hushed for policy sake and we were told to say nothing about it, but I didn't pro pose to keep quiet, and that's why I am not on the bridge. The trouble 1 all through Train Dispatcher Prince, who, with his cronies, runs the business.

His cronies are Yardman West and Switchman Davenport. Ue has another friend named Bahr, in whom he much interested. Mr. Prince is the man of whom it is on record at the police station that he took home a lady's gossamer found in the car by Conductor Kitt Welch and given to him to take to headquarters. It was found at his homo by a couple of bridge policemen.

Favoritism is injuring the running of the bridge and many things are done that are not reported. On the 14th of April last the 6:35 train left for New York with three cars and no middle man. But one car was gripped to the cable and the red ball was swung to send the train back, but no attention was paid to it and the loaded cars went to New York that way and an ex tra man was put on coming back. This was not reported. About six weeks ago car 56 was thrown off the switch nnd it was clalmod that the switch was Jumpod.

1 know better. I saw Davenport chango the switch between my car and the locomo live. Prince roported this, but not the way I saw it Night before last one ear smashed into another because of a switch going wrong. Prince reported that a pin had dropped out while the car was going over the switch. This could not be.

The weight of tho train would bind the pin so It could not come out It must have beon left out beforehand. Tho truth is that some few men run that department ot the bridge. Everything goes to Mr. Martin through Prince, who colors It to suit himself and holds Mr. Martin by the nose.

Since the fight in the conductors' room Prince has told me several times that I had better get my trunk packed for he would have me bounced. The only charge against me is that I know too much. That's what they don't want THE FIGHT FOR CENTRAL AVENUE. An Extra Allowance A.fced for by tbe Defense. Lawyer Thomas S.

Moore made applica tion before Judge Bartlett this morning for an 'extra allowance In the suit brought by the Attorney Gen eral against the Broadway Railroad, of tbe Eastern District, to anieud its charter so far as its rights on Central avenue were concerned. The action was discontinued. Mr. Moore said he was engaged thirty live days in preparing for the suit, and did a large amount of work in arrauging for tho defense in tho action which was never brsught te trlaL The vaiuo of the Central avenue rights of the company was 550,000. The suit was supposed to have orgi nated with the Atlantic Avenue Railroad Company.

Judge Bartlett said it was extraordinary that the Attorney General should begin the suit and then discontinue it to suit hia own convenience. Mr. Jesse Johnson, wlie appeared for the Attorney General, said there was no evidence that the Cen tral avenue franchise was worth 150,000. Judge Bartlett said if that were bo it was strange that so many companies should bo lighting for the possession of it. Decision wa reserved.

A CONTRACT FOR HOSE Which Hayor Patrick J. Gleason Kc fniics to Sign. Mayor Patrick J. Gleason has another fight on bis hands and it came before Judge Bartlett this morning on a motion by Lawyer S. B.

Noble for a mandamus to compel Maj or Gleason to sign a cou tract with the Peerless Manufacturing Company for 2,500 feet of rubber hose for the Fire Department of Long Island City. It appears that some time ago the Cemmon Council advertised for bids for rubber hose. Five proposals were received. The lowest bid was put in by the Trenton Rubber Company nnd next above them was the Peerless Manufacturing Company, whose bid was 18 cents in excess of tho Trenton concern. The Common Council, however, awarded the contracl to the Peerless Company.

Mayor Glea son vetoed the resolution, but the Common Council passed It over his veto. Mayor Gleason, however, still refuses to sign the contract, on the ground that it was not awarded to tho lowest bidder. The motion for a mandamus was opposed by Cor poration Counsel Foster. Decision was reserved. FRANK DID THB STEALING.

Amoag the guests were three men employed In the Street Cleaning Department, Genaro ifaio and Frank Malo, brothers, and Vinconzo Curao. As la usual on suth occasions, there was plenty of beer on hand, and under its Influence the party became very merry. Qenar Maio, a very small man, was made au object of ridicule some of the revelers and having drunk more than the rest finally showed fight Ho scarcely got. on his feet when he was attacked by Curso. The two wrestled with each other and eventually got out on the back piazza of the house.

There they were separated Frank Malo, but almost immediately afterward they began fighting again. Curso fell and Genaro Malo at once jumped upon him and kicked him several times In the stomach with great violence. Curso being unable to rise was carried Into the house and laid upon a lounge, while his assailant went to a neighboring saloon where he played cards and drank until nearly 11 o'clook. Then he went his home at 48 Front street. At midnight the Italian Ashuzzo callodatthe York Street Station House and Informed 8ergeant Reeves that there was a man sick at his house.

A call for assistance was sent to Headquarters, and after a short time Dr. James T. MoGraw, 130 Gold street, of the night medical Bervtce, responded. He, company with Officer Evans, went to S7 Front street, where the sick man, who turned out to bo Curso, was found sitting on the floor. He was holding bis stomach with both hands and appeared to In great ageny.

There was evidence that one bis intestines had been ruptuied, but this was not noticed br the doctor, although It was by the policeman. The physician concluded that it was a case of cholera morbus, aud left after prescribing some medicine. He did not consider It necessary to report the circumstances oi the affair to the police and in his report sent to the Health Department this morning he simply stated that he had been called to attend an Italian, and had found the man suffering from cholera morbus. Between 7 and 8 o'clock this morning three very excited Italians appeared at the station house and said that the Blck man at 27 Front Btreet was much worse. An ambulance was summoned and Surgeon Cooke retpouded.

When he reached the house he found that Curso was dead, and reported this fact to the police, and nothing more. So far there was no idoa entertained at the station house that Curso's death had resulted from foul play. Officer Evans, however, who had been con nected with the case from Its start, determined to make an investigation on his own account, and, having procured an interpreter, was soon in possession of sufficient evidence to prove that murder had been committed. He got all the details of the fight from an eye witness named Alfazio Fasquale, aud took him to the station house, where he was held. When a search was made for the murderer, Genaro Malo, it was found that he had been to 27 Front street at 7 o'clock this morning, and having learned that Curso was dead, had Immediately run away.

Some of his countrymen said that he might have gone to Coney Island, as he had been working there early In the Spring. Detectives Campbell and Kearney were sent out to look for him. The dead man was 86 years old and leaves a widow and three children. His slayer Is descrlbod as being about 23 years of age, about fi feet in height aud of medium build.

It does not deal with new things, but recites facts already ventilated, la company with the admitted failure to build on all routes, holding this to be In itself a sufficient cause fr annulment under the law, contending that the defense under speolal act Is invalid, because the road had a charter to build outside the city and is therefore amenable to the general act Moreover, that the charter provision to complete all routes Inside of ten years wa3 mandatory and in no manner to be evaded. Mr. Richardson Is also reminded, In the thirteenth and last section, that under ust auoh conditions he has been endeavoring to annul the charter of the Broadway Company for failuro to build on Central avenue, which ho desires within the required time.

His followers were disappointed by the reports that the Bard would not start and again discouraged by the backers of Mr. Cassalt's great horse, who said that he would start and surely win, although he has been assigned 123 5 lbs. moro than Hanorer. Mr.

Gratz, owner of Elkwood, looked ruefully at the rainy skies, for ho had hoped for a warm, clear day. On such a day Mr. Gratz would havo backed Elkwood to defoat any horse entered In tho race for tho cup. The half mile track contingent is here to back Lakeland's Peg Wofflngton for the Gazelle Stakes. If Peg starts she will have to contend against a bet tor class of Allies than she defeated a few days ago, but the half mllers confidently declare that she is the best Ally out.

Followers of the Dwyers' Stables believe that Belle B. has a mortgage on the stakes. Jockoya who rode at Clifton yesterday were not allowed to come In to day. Hanover and the Hard will start and the former will be heavily backed to win. The first race was won by Golden Reel, Lady Primrose second.

R. Depot jrt fi3V With an Influential Flatbush Official. Some Peculiar Rftvelationi Concerning President Bodenhangen of the Exche Board Boots at $10 a Pair and Collections from Llonor Dealer. Flatbush has not yet ceased talking abont last meeting of its Excise Commissioners. It enlivened by an Incident whloh disturbed the serenity of that excellent citizen, Mr.

Charles Bo denhausen, chairman of the Board. Mr. Boden bausea had Just caUed the meeting to order, when Commissioner John J. O'Brien said: Mr. Bodenhausen, saloon keepers have been complaining lately that you are collecting money from them for having the cost of their licenses reduced.

Now as I voted for that reduction It would look as if I was mixed up In tbe matter, but I don't business that Way. I want you to distinctly understand that you have got to keep my name out of any transactions of that kind you may hare or else will make It warm for you." "Mr. O'Brien," said the chairman, who speaks with a heavy German accent, "I have never attempted to conuect you or Mr. Kane with any of actions. If you find me doing anything wrong you keep clear of me." "That is all I have to say," remarked Mr.

O'Brien, and the meeting proceeded. "What is this meeting asked Commissioner Kane, altera time. "An adjournment," replied Mr. Bodenhausen. "Who adjourned it "Idld." "Where did you get your authority?" "That's all right." On motion of O'Brien, seconded by Kane, the consideration of applications for new licenses wis laid over till Junes.

Commissioner Bodenhausen said that ho wonld not grant any more llcensos after the 12th of June. His colleagues attacked him for speaking of himself as if there was no other member of the Board. They declare! that they would grant licenses all the year round, they felt like It After more wrangling and no business the meeting adjourned. Inquiry into the truth or falsity of the extraordinary statement made by Commissioner O'Brien showed that the people of Flatbush are not far wrong when they boast that Bodenhausen is not by any means an ordinary mau. He has beon in the Excise Board a year, and has managed to keep the procoodlngs from stagnating during that time.

So far this Spring seventy licenses have boon renewed or issued iu Flatbush. At first Bodenhausen favored a charge of $50 for a first class license. He was also for limiting the number of licenses to be issued and kept the saloonkoepers on pins and needles for a long time. He is a shoemaker and during this state of suspense his trade flourished. was remarkable how many of the saloonkeepers needed new boots at this period.

None but the very best would do them. They eost $10 a pair and looked quite as good as $6 boots purchased else where. A new light gradually broke on Mr. Bodenbau son. He came to the conclusion that 30 was quite sufficient for a license.

That amouut was fixed upon by the votes of Mr. Bodenhausen and Mr. O'Brien. Applications came in in a flood and tho wheelB of the license mill turned merrily round grinding out duly authorized liquor dealers. Last Sunday was a very flue day and the citizens of Flatbush were not surprised to see Commissioner Bodouhausen Jump into his light waggon, whip up his horse and go speodtng along the boule vard.

He called upon ex Judge Billy McMahon and showed him a paper. It was a list of the saloon keepers who had ha 1 their licensed renewed or who had newly procured licenses. What Is that?" asked Mr. McMahon. Just a list of the boys." "What Oh, I carry it around with me.

There are their names aud here is a column showing what they are puttiug up." "Oh." Ain't it worth anything to you to have the li cense reduced Mr. McMahon made no reply. He opened his cash drawer and passed $30 out to the chairman ot tho Excise Board. Mr. Bordenhausen bid him good morning and drove on to the next saloon.

Other liquor dealers also yielded to his persuasive smile, some to the extent of others $30 and others as low as $10. Mr. Bordenhausen collected hundreds of dollars, so ic is said, and was very well satisfied with tho way matters were going. till Mr. O'Brien rebuked him last Wednesday.

Since then he lias spent his time in alternately threatening to have Kane aud O'Brien iudlcted for some uuspecifled offense or 10 hang himself. On Wednesday night In Supervisor Ly nam's saloon he talked of ending his trouble In this summary manner. The Supervisor produced a rope and tendered it to him together with an offer of services as hangman. Mr. Bodenhausen took timo to consider the proposition and finally con cluded not to die at once.

Bodenhausen Is a short, stout man, with broad face, thick gray goateo and mustache, gray hair, heavy features and short, thick nose, almost the extreme point of which is straddled by a pair of gold bowed spectacles, with the glasses two inches away from his eyes. He has three ways of looking at his colleagues in the Excise Board, through, over and Tinder tho. spectacles; he dresses in gray, sports a big dark red rose of Sharon in his buttonhole and wields with his loft Hand a green avel tied with a green ribbon. Iu his other hand he grasp3 an open book. His expression is intensely grave and important If has a way of lowering his head like a buffalo and peering out right and left under iiis eyebrows, which, while conceal ing his own countenance, enables him to Bee what Is going on about him.

Ilia methods hare made him aa great an object of Interest in Flatbush as Mayor Hewitt is Iu New York. If he doos not like a motion he will not put it and if either Kane or O'Brien attempts to argue with him he bangs his gavel very bard aud reads in a loud voice from the open book. No one knows what that open book contains. Some kind of legal bash, apparently, because out of tho thousands ot words that Bodenhausen reels off two or three can usually be distinguished and they pertain to statutes. After he reads his colleagues Into a state of submission Mr.

BodenhausBn glares triumph antly at them under his spectacles and matters run along smoothly again till another revolt forces another recourse to Mr. Bodenhausen's book. PARK IHPitOVEMSJITS. Tho Governor Haa signed Bills Wort br Comminlonor. for The signing by the Governor of the Turk Improvement and the Park sites bills will give the Commissioners considerable to do duriug the Sum raor.

Two hundred thousand dollars of the amount named In the bills, 500,000, is to be put into permanent improuemeuts In Prospect Park. According to the talk of the Park Commissioners these improvements will Include the extension o( the west side drive around the lower end of the big lake to the head of the Boulevard the building of bridges lu the park and probably the erection of part of the stoue wall on the outer boundary of the park. In a few days the Commissioners will send their requisition to the Board of Estimate for next year's expenses. They will ask for sufficient money to establish a plant to furnish incandescent electric lights. The Commissioners have come to the conclusion that arc lights are unsuitable to the park and not what ought to be placed on the boulevards.

The Governor has signed the bill to appropriate 1300,000 for sites for little parks, and the money under both bills will be available next year. The Governor has also signed tbe bill lor $400,000 for school sites. Among other Brooklyn bills signed by the Uovernor are Mr. Haggerty's Fourth Precinct Station House measure, and Senator Pierce's bill providing a general law for Incorporating training schools for nurses.

It now turns out that aa contended by the Eaole from the start, there was no authority for statement that Mrs. Cleveland proposed to visit Brooklyn on Decoration day. The following die patch sets at rest all doubts upon the subject: James D. Bell; Mrs. Cleveland does not accompany tne rresiaeni Brooklyn.

Lamont. "As soon as I got this telegram," said Commis sioner Bell this morning, "I sent word to Dr. Tal mago so that he might be Informed la case he had preparations under way." "Did Dr. Talmage expeot Mrs. Cleveland to visit Brooklyn, or how did the report originate that she coming?" was asked.

"So far as I know," replied Mr. Bell, "there never been any reason for supposing Mrs. Cleveland would visit here. For my port I have never thought would come. Dr.

Talmage, however, seemed alb66 Cleveland is a friend of Mrs. Talmage and has frlendB in this city. Dr. Talmage had been Washington after I was there. Of course, the grand marshal it was ray place, under the rules that govern the Memorial Committee, to invite the guests who are to witness the review, and, shortly after 1 was made marshal, I Invited the President That was away back in March, I think.

week ago last Tuesday, the day of the convention, I was in Washington and, in oonveraation with the President, incidentally the question of Mrs. Cleveland's coming here on Decoration day came while of some of her friends nVMii hAtvnnn thnn and llfixt WedUe3 day. I don't know what the President told Dr. Talmage, but he seemed to think Mrs. Cleveland was coming.

He is a buoyant, sanguine kind a man, you know. The only way that I can account for the positive report Is that it arose from a desire on the part of some persons to spread the idoa that there was going to be a big time here on Decoration day, and the President had been invited and It followed that his wife was coming with United Statos District Attorney Wilber, who Is on the G. A. R. Committee on Invitations, said, in au swer to an Inquiry as to what authority the committee had for the positive annouueementof Mrs.

Cleveland's coming, that they hadacled on Marshal Bell's suggestion. The committee had not invited Mra. Clevelnnd and had not thought of her coming until Mr. Bell Informed them that Dr. Talmage had placed his house at their disposal for the entertainment of the Presidential party.

We got the impression from Sir. Bell," aaid Mr. Wilber, "that Mrs. Cleveland was coming." A letter from Washington rocelved this morning by a member of the committee, Mr. Wilber said, announced that the impression that Mrs.

Clevelnnd was coming here on Docoration day was a misapprehension. The letter was not from Mrs. Cleveland or the President, but from a person whom Mr. Wilber refused name, but who, he said, was iu a position to know all tile facts. How much moro the letter said, or where the letter is, or who received It Mr.

Wilber also declined to state. Tho Rov. Dr. Talmage said this morning, in reply to a question as to the source of the report that Mrs. Cleveland was to coino to Brooklyn on Weduesday: 1 wish to say emphatically that such reports havo not emanated from me.

I have never had any conversation with the President or his wife on the subject. When I was in Washington said to tho President, as I was leaving, 'I see you are coming to Brooklyn 1 he for a short Last week when I learned that the reviewing stand was to be erected near horo I merely offered the Committee of Arrangements my house for the use of the President or anybody else. After I got home last Thursday 1 was told the President and his wire wore coming hero and as a result I toltj your reporter so. Impression from the start was that lira. Cleveland would not come, because the presi dent told me that his visit was to be such a short affair that ho could hardly bo oxpectod to bring his fnmily, and any other impression I got wa3 from what was told tne in Brooklyn this weok."

Jackson, May 25. During the ceremonies yesterday connected with the laying of the cornerstone of the Confederate monument heretbe following letter of regret from Jefferson Davis was read by Colonel J. Powers: BEAUVOIE, Miss May 21, 1SSS.

Ladies of the Confederate Monument Aeeocialioyi of iiississippi I duly received your gratifying invitation to my family and myself to be present at the laying of the cornerstone of the monument to commemorate the dead of Mississippi, who died for tho Slate. This acknowledgement has been delayed under the hope that my health would so improvo as to enable me to participate in the ceremony. The earnest desire to be with you on that oecasiou, led me to hope against the better Judgment of others that I might be physically able to Join in a work which Is very near to my heart. The monuiuont will be the first reared by Mississippi to her sons, who at the call of their mother forgot all selfish cares and wont forth, If need be, to die for her cause. This omission cannot bo ascribed to the absence of meritorious claims to such consideration, for Mississipplaus have neither been of the war party in peace nor of tho peace party In war.

Iu the territorial infancy of our State, when population was maluly confined to a few river counties, Indian war, with its characteristic ferocity, was ravaging the frontier settlements. At the cry of the helples3 Mississip pians rushed to arms, though few and illy prepared for war. Among the earliost of my memories was the grief of our people because of the massacre at Fort Mima, where many of ourneighbors died in the fulfillment of that noblest motive of human action which causes one to give his life that others may live. No monument fortbe instruction of the rising generation commemorates the eventa and the commonly used school books are not devoted to Southern history. At Pensacola or Fort Bowyer and in the battle of New Orloans Mississippi bore au hon orable part.

Tour monument will stand in the County of Hinds, the name of the leader of the Aliaaissippi dragoons, whose conduct in the battle of New Orleans was commended in general orders for the admiration of one army aud the wonder of the other. At a latei day, when Mississippi sent a requisition for troop3 to serve iu the war between the United States and Mexico, the difficulty was not to get the requisite number of companies, but to discriminate among those offering in excessof the numbers which would be xeceivod. An attempt was made to build a monument to those who hlod and died in a foreign land but it failed. If asked why the reason is on the surface. It was not woman's work.

Daughters of Mississippi, you have labored in a cause, the righteousness uf which only he cgu deny whose soul Is so devsid of patriotism that in his country's strife he could give aid and comfort to the enemy. It would hare been a great gratification to me to stand among the survivors of Miesissipp's army, and in laying tho cornerstone Of a monument to their deceased comrades to recall their virtues, the mingled attributes of the hero aud the saint under this definition. Please bo assured that In spirit I Bhall be with you, and for the zeal with which you have faced all discouragement and tho devotion you haTe shown to a purpose which had only its merits for its reward 1 pray you to accept from the inmost fiber of his heart the thanks of an old MlssUsippiau. Faithfully, Jbffekson Davis. A GIRL'S DEATH AT SEA.
